Please give help or give me suggestions as what I am doing wrong.

The problem is the way you're referencing the dropdown, plus the lack of required spaces in the field code. Instead of:

Code:

{IF { Company }="X" "(111)111-1111" {IF {Company}="Y" "(234)567-8910"}}}

use:

Code:

{IF{REF Company}= "X" "(111)111-1111"}{IF{REF Company}= "Y" "(234)567-8910"}

As Charles said, though, you really shouldn't use formfields and content controls in the same document; they don't play well together.
